The demand for brand-new small pickup trucks may be shrinking, yet the compact Tacoma still commands top dollar as a trade-in. The base four-cylinder standard-cab model from 2008 fares well enough at 72 percent of its original sticker price, but those owning the more practical V6-powered four-door DoubleCab could be offered as much as 87 percent of its original price in trade on a new model.
#6. Toyota 4Runner
Mainstream new-car buyers may have shunned traditional truck-based SUVs in recent years because of high gas prices, yet there’s still a market among outdoor adventurers for go-anywhere vehicles that can also tow a boat or trailer. A shortage of used models means the model-year 2008 SR5 version of Toyota’s 4Runner can be expected to command as much as 74 percent of its original sticker price as a trade-in, with the top V8-powered Limited version lagging behind only slightly at 70 percent.
